I swear if something didn't go wrong It wouldn't be a normal day!

Building my mixing station and have had to go to lowes 3 separate times, return stuff on amazon due to the wrong size being shipped, and then today I drilled the hole for the uniseal 1-3/8" and it was supposed to be 1-1/4" UGGG

So have to order bigger uniseals and make yet another trip to lowes

My wife told me when I started this build to take my time, do it right and make it the set up I really want....6 weeks later I still dont have a drop of water in the tank and I have been working on this build every day but I have been sick the past week or so and that has for sure slowed me down

I live by the Motto "Never Give up", and that is something I wont be doing but I will laugh at myself along the way

So I figure I will have fish and corals in this tank by Easter of 2026 lol
